This document discusses how various natural disasters impact the environment. It begins by defining different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, tsunamis, volcanoes, blizzards, floods, tornadoes, droughts and heat waves. For each disaster, it summarizes the typical damage caused, such as property destruction, loss of habitat, erosion, contamination of water supplies, and loss of power. Overall, the key environmental impacts of natural disasters discussed are property loss, loss of habitat, and damage to infrastructure.

Introduction to natural disaster
About earthquake
How earthquake happens
Major earthquakes around the world
A natural disaster is an event with a natural, as opposed to human, cause that results in large-scale loss of life or damage to property. It could be related to weather, geology, biology or even factors outside the Earth. Examples are earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts and flooding. Disease epidemics are sometimes considered natural disasters, but may be put into a different category. In some cases, natural and human factors may combine to produce a disaster.
An earthquake (also known as a quake,tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the earthâs crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity , seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
Â
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

There were 3,430 civilians that lost their lives as the result of
fire.
There were 17,675 civilian injuries that occurred as the
result of fire.
There were 118 firefighters killed while on duty.
Fire killed more Americans than all natural disasters
combined.
84 percent of all civilian fire deaths occurred in residences.
There were an estimated 1.6 million fires in 2007.
Direct property loss due to fires was estimated at $14.6
billion.
An estimated 32,500 intentionally set structure fires resulted
in 295 civilian deaths.
Intentionally set structure fires resulted in an estimated $733
million in property damage.

15. Flood
A temporary rise of the water level, as in a
river or lake or along a seacoast, resulting in
its spilling over and out of its natural or

The cost of losses due to drought in the
United States averages $6-8 billion every
year, but range as high as $39 billion for the
three year drought of 1987-1989, which was
the most costly natural disaster documented
in U.S. history.
